The Newton Polytope of a <strong>Tropical</strong> Polynomial<br />

Definition<br />

Newton polytope N(F) = convex hull of the support supp(F)<br />

Theorem<br />

The tropical hypersurface T (F) of a tropical polynomial F is dual<br />

to the 1-coskeleton of the regular subdivision of N(F) induced by<br />

the coefficients of F.<br />
